Handicapping Contest Offers Trip For 2 To The 2012 Breeders' Cup At Santa Anita!

Online, June 5, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Traditional handicapping tournaments are not designed to appeal to all horseplayers. If the contest is filled with mandatory races at tracks that the horseplayer doesn't normally play, it slants the playing field toward others in the tournament who play those circuits. Cash money contests, on the other hand, often require large minimum wagering thresholds or entry fees that price most players out. The new Cash is King contest at BetPTC.com takes away those inequities and lets every level of horseplayer participate.

"It doesn't matter if you a big player or a small player. Everyone has an equal chance to win the prizes in the Cash is King contest at BetPTC.com," explained General Manager Todd Bowker.

The June Cash is King champ will win a trip for two to the 2012 Breeders' Cup at Santa Anita, courtesy of Premier Turf Club, and cash prizes will be awarded to the top four finishers. The June contest begins Belmont Stakes day, June 9th when I'll Have Another seeks to become the first Triple Crown winner since 1978.

The Tournament Director for the event is Rich Nilsen, who created the first-ever online qualifier for the National Handicapping Championship (NHC) back in 1999 and who managed the online tournaments at TwinSpires.com for several years.

"There are no mandatory tracks, and no specific bets are required. Thus, you can play your favorite tracks and make your favorite wagers, all using a bankroll that fits your budget," said Nilsen. "The contest is scored based on your return on investment (ROI). Best of all, there is no entry fee and since it's a cash money contest, in addition to any prizes, you keep whatever you win."

Wagers can be made online or by phone and on any type of bet that BetPTC accepts through their Oregon hub. Cash is King wagers can be made on any racetracks of the player's choice on four Saturdays in June, starting Belmont Stakes day. To qualify for contest play on a given Saturday, registered members must bet a minimum of $50 during the course of a contest day. There is no limit to how much can be wagered.

Registration for the event is quick and easy for members of Premier Turf Club, which is also offering a $100 sign-up bonus for new customers of the online service. Rules for the Cash is King tournament, as well as a leaderboard, can be found at www.betptc.com/news.jsp.
